1 comment to How do you respond when people say they can’t afford your artwork?

The best way to avoid this issue is to have smaller pieces available where you have used a similar technique/colours/scaling …yadayada, so that they CAN afford an art piece of yours… just maybe not the big one they’d like. (A kind of bait and switch if you like…). It affords them a way to become a collector of your works, so that some day they MAY be able to afford the ‘big one’. It also makes your works more flexible for gallery showings. As artists, we deserve to earn a fair wage for our work. You don’t have to work harder, just work smarter!
